I'm on Xubuntu 13.10 64 bit, I printed something, now the printer icon is still up there next to the battery icon, I solve the problem by logging out and in. But I want a better solution for next time that does not require me to log out.

EDIT: I'm having the same problem. As requested, here is a screenshot:

When I try to click (left or right) on the printer icon, nothing happens. Only logging out and back in again clears it away.

This issue happened few hours ago, as I recall I couldn't right click or click, also the icon isn't exactly the same, there was a red dote or something on it

@Fischer When this happens again, make a screenshot and post it in the question.

I have the exact same problem. the icon cannot be clicked (right or left). It only disappears when I logout/login or restart... I am running 14.04

I can confirm that, like @user1291235, that since upgrading to 14.04, I also don't see a menu with either or right or left click to the icon, and only a logout/login or restart removes it.
